The Ways Of Russia.

An instance of the way in which the
Russian government manages its at.
fairs, and of the rigor with which it re,
presses what it considers Objectionable
displays of public feeling, was shown
a short time ago at St. Petersburg in
the suppression of an attempt, on the
part OF the students of the university,
to celebrate the twenty-ffth anniver-
sary of the death OF the poet BogoIin.
boff. 1t was arranged that this cele.
bration should take place in the Vol.
koff cemetery, and at the time agreed
upon some six or seven hundred stu
dents, of whom about one hundred
were young women studying in the
higher medical school, assembled at
the gates ofthe cemetery, with wreaths
and mementoes of one kind or anoth,
er. Possibly, the affair may have had
political significance; at least, the
government officials chose to put
this Interpretation uren it, and hence
the police ordered the assembly to
dispense. Thsle was some objection
to this, and a display OF feeling made
which gave the excuse for the arrest
OF forty or fifty Of the male students
and eighteen OF the females. The per-
sons thus arrested were in a few cases
released. Those mott thus treated were
simply exiled without the least form
OF trial. No one OF their friends or
the public has the least idea where
they were sent. Probably they were
scattered and sent to distant country
villages to be kept under strict police
supervision for an indefinite period OF
J time that is, years. or perhaps their
lifetime-thus breaking up any plan or
/ hopefor the future which the students
| may have formed In an American
| university a demonstration OF this
kind might have been attended with a
reprimand, a suspension, or at the
most, an expulsion from the college.
One cannot help having some degree oil
1 sympathy for the nihilists, when one
] takes into account the many causes
they have for the hatred of their gov
eminent and their governors.

The Moon Through the Lick
Telescope.

Among other large and noble bene-
factions, James Lick, the California
millionaire, a few years ago, devoted
a generous sum OF money to the cree
ton OF a gigantic telescope.
This telescope, which will soon be
placed in the observatory on the
summit of Mount Hamilton, near San
Francisco, is the largest instrument OF
its kind which has ever been construct
ed on the earth, and, if successfully
completed, will undoubtedly reveal to
the eye Tor the first time many Sc
cret OF the sky.
When at last the Lick telescope is
set up on Mount Hamilton, and is
turned toward the heavens, it will be a
new and striking era in the history OF
astronomy. What will be seen
through the huge lens may, perhaps, be
best Judged by the revelation it will
give Of the moon. The moon is two
hundred and forty thousand miles
from the earth. The Lick telescope
Will bring 1T, IN vision, to within one
hundred miles.
That is, whatever we can now dis
cover with the naked eye, in very
dry and clear atmosphere, hundred
miles away, will be descrled on the
moon through the mammoth telescope.
It will not be possible, to be sure,
to perceive living things moving on the
surface OF the moon, if such living things
exist there. But, if the moon is act
ually inhabited. and if the people
there by any chance traverse the peak
and craters in large bodies,-by such
means, for instance, as great ships or
conveyance movements may
possibly be discerned through the
Lick lens.
Many questions otherwise concern
ing the planetary system will undoubt-
eddy be solved by the far greater
nearness which the Lick telescope
will bring to us the heavenly orbs-

The Malaga Grape.

The Rural Californian says There is no
grape now grown in Southern California
that is so good Tor q raisin. all things con-
sidefed, as The M1scat: but il must be con-
feSsed that this grape IS a failure on some
kinds Of soil, especially on the gfanitic
soils along the foothills. But even on the
mesas it does sp'endidiy in so!as places,
while il VIII prove failure sometimes
only half a mite distant. The growing of a
grape for making raisins is so very profit
able i'll Southern California, and the work
Of handling the crop 50 pleasant, that it is
very desirable TO find grape that will do
well or all foothill soils. The white Ma
laga seems TO be the thing sought after. 1t
is doing very finely in the Canyada at Po-
mona, at Ontario, at Pasadena, and in sew
eral other similar localities. In discussing
,his question of the Malaga Crane the Co.
vina Exponent tells of its success at Pomo-
na, as follows:
&C. +. Bemis, of Covina, left in our
Office the other day two lunches OF Malaga
raisins which came from the vineyard of
Mr.. White, of Pomona, and we think, as
every one else does who sees them, that
they are equal 10 any Muscat raisins pro-
dueed in the State. This, we believe. viii
become the future raisin grape of the foot
hill country, and will practically solve the
perplexing question of what grape to
grow-and not 10 make wine-for profit.
Our vineyardisis have been experimenting
with the Muscat grape for raisius but have
not arrived at satisfactory results, although
a few vineyards OF that variety did extreme
ly well this year. But. as rule, the Mus
cat vineyards have yielded very mesger in
come TO their owners, and we have heard
considerable complaint of almost total fail
ures. Dir. Beruis informed us that the
Malagas on Mr.. Whites place bore heavily
this wear. and that the bunches left in this
office were only among the average of his
crop. If the Malaga grape will bear heavily
and produce s0ch fine raisins as the ones
shown Us, on the Pomona soil, we believe
they will do well in this valley, for our al
tiiuie is abuGt the same. ard our soil and
climate differs tut very little. We may yet
be ahle 10 add the profitable industry of
raisin- making TO our already large re-
sources. One thing we believe will ie.l in
favor of the raisins Of this valley those
which bsve been produced proving it, and
that is that they viii contain more sugar
than any raisin produced in the lower val
leys. Let some one put the Malagas to a
practical test and try the virtue of our soil
aud Climate on that variety"
